About this property
Luxury apartment close to Castle Douglas, converted from an old mill building to provide spacious accommodation over two floors. The principal accommodation is on the first floor including a spacious living area with wood burner and Juliet window overlooking the mill burn and adjoining woodland.
This luxury apartment on the edge of the small rural village of Crossmichael, close to Castle Douglas, has been lovingly converted from an old mill building to provide spacious accommodation over two floors. The principal accommodation is on the first floor including a spacious living area with wood burner and Juliet window overlooking the mill burn and adjoining woodland.
Great care has been taken over the conversion of the building to ensure that the original character of the mill is retained whilst providing a superb living environment. Crossmichael village is just a short walk from the property and offers a small inn serving meals and a village shop. The busy rural market town of Castle Douglas is less than a ten minute drive away, offering a wide range of amenities. These include a range of interesting independent shops, art galleries, a community run theatre which doubles as a cinema, cafes, restaurants & pubs, a swimming pool, a 9-hole golf course, and a small independent brewery.
Loch Ken lies to the back of the village with excellent bird watching opportunities, the loch also has many water sports available including free fishing on parts. The nearby Galloway Activity Centre provides both water and land based activities for all ages including sailing, canoeing and paddle boarding.
The Galloway Forest and Solway Coast are easily reached with their wonderful wildlife, scenery, peace and tranquillity. The forest also has excellent provision for active pursuits with the 7Stanes Mountain Bike Network offering routes for all levels of ability. The Galloway Forest was designated Britain's first dark Sky Park and on a clear night, due to the low levels of light pollution the star gazing opportunities are unsurpassed.
If you want to explore the local culture and history of the area you are spoilt for choice with local sites such as Threave Estate with its Castle and gardens, Sweetheart Abbey at New Abbey and a short drive away the Robert Burns Trail to Ayr or visit one of his favourite hostelries at the Selkirk Arms Hotel in Kirkcudbright or his farm at Ellisland near Dumfries.

What a fantastic find Waterfall was! The setting of the property is idyllic, with the titular waterfall to one side, a beautiful garden seating area, and views over the countryside. The whole property speaks of an eye for detail - the layout is spacious and well thought out, beautifully appointed, and the fixtures and fittings are of the very best quality and finish. There were also fantastic personal touches - a thoughtfully selected whiskey, an excellent bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge ready for your arrival, along with tasty locally produced sweet treats. The property is also well placed to explore throughout the region, and when we holidayed in early June, the local area was radiant with colour.

We had a great holiday at Waterfall. A fantastic property - comfortable and luxurious, with a beautiful view over the woods and waterfall. It had everything you could want and lots of lovely touches like the decanter of local whiskey and a bottle of fizz in the fridge! Lovely countryside both on the doorstep and nearby for walks in the mountains or coast.

A lovely stay in very special accommodation. Spotlessly clean and stylish Waterfall provides the perfect base for exploring this beautiful area. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and Waterfall is probably one of the best self catering we’ve ever stayed in and we will definitely be back!
